Broadly speaking, there are 4 reasons for thyroid surgery. They are the “4 C’s“

CANCER - or suspected thyroid Cancer. Fortunately, the outcomes for patients are generally excellent. After necessary tests, thyroid surgery for cancer is performed. Further treatment may be required after surgery.

COMPRESSION - large thyroid glands, called goitres, can obstruct the breathing and swallowing passages of the throat. Surgery may be required in this case.

CHEMISTRY - the thyroid can become overactive or underactive. Blood tests and other investigations usually reveal the issue. If medication is not successful in controlling the disorder, surgery may be necessary.

COSMESIS - A swollen thyroid gland, due to diffuse enlargement (goitre) or nodules can affect the shape of the neck and throat. Surgery may be an option in this case.
